Small copepods (≤ 2 mm) are highly abundant mesozooplankton in Arctic and sub-Arctic marine ecosystems. However, small copepods are generally underestimated in zooplankton studies because of the use of large-meshed nets (≥ 180-µm mesh size) and are relatively poorly studied compared to large copepod...
